#46 - The 400 Pound Fat Guy

The storyline continues on foreign soil. 

At a press conference in Poland with the Polish President Duda, ahead of the G-20 summit in Germany, President Trump in responding to a question on Russian interference in the US elections, would not focus on Russia, sticking to his claim that it could have been Russia, it could have been China, it could have been a lot of other countries, it could have been a lot of other people, and stating that it's been going on for a long time, for many many years.  Nobody really knows. 

In bolstering his case to his world, that we can't be certain, he continued the storyline that the intelligence communities failed in their analysis of WMD in Iraq, failed miserably, implying that we can't trust their assessment, some 15 years later, that Russia was the offender, and that he knows better.   Of course he does, what were we thinking?

So, I guess we should just defund CIA, the NSA, and have Jared pick up the intelligence work on the weekends when he’s not skiing in Vale.  Yes, that sound like a plan. Think of the money we will save.  

President Trump is quick to point out that when Barack Obama was informed in August 2016 about Russian interference, he did nothing prior to the November 2016 election, because he thought Hillary was going to win the election.  

So, when Barack Obama was faced with the issue, it was Russia.  Conversely and perversely, when the Donald has to face the same issue, he won't disavow his 400 pound fat guy theory.  

Welcome to new reality TV show, the Presidential Apprentice.   It's bound to be a hit with 36% of the US population, at least in the beginning, until even they grow weary of it over time, and many of them will.  The rest of the country will be watching CNN.
